The alert comes just one day after fires burned feet from homes in the Forest Lakes Preserve subdivision near County Road 421.

Residents in the area hosed down home and property. A fence was taken down by the flames.

Mary Weinert's backyard burned along with a number of her neighbors.

Smoke lingered over the community on Wednesday while firefighters were still putting out hotspots.

Residents always loved the natural scrub on their edge of their subdivision, until it became a liability that put them all on edge.

"I said to my husband, I smelled smoke I was looking toward him and he looked out the door and said I see it," said Weinhart.

Forestry Service's Timber Weller says this blustery winds of March can turn a spark into a full blown blaze.

"Especially with the cold weather, a lot of times lower humidity than we normally have," said Weller. "All conditions that favor fire starting and also aggravating the difficulties of suppressing fire."

In Port Orange, rescuers had water on one section of brush and minutes later the wind turned and another area was going up.

Fire officials contained the blaze on Tuesday evening, but said their concern remains high.
